Qualcomm Snaptop prototype tablet with external keyboard looks like a mini all-in-one
Jan 12th
Qualcomm just showed off a new device called the Snaptop, which is basically a slate tablet with a kickstand and a Bluetooth keyboard. While it’s not anything new, the concept is quite appealing and looks similar to MSI’s Windtop or Asus’ Eee Top at a smaller scale.
The prototype unit has a 9″ resistive screen and runs on Google Android. The keyboard and the main display each have a tiny trackball for mouse control, a nice touch for those who have trouble using the touch display for the pointer.
It’s no netbook though since it’ll be hard to use this on your lap with the separate keyboard. There’s no word when of if this will be in production soon but it certainly looks good.

Texet also shows off their tablet
Jan 11th
Here we have another tablet in the form of the Texet EZB890. The specs are below:
- 8.9″ 1024 x 600 touchscreen
- 500MHz MIPS CPU
- Linux OS
- 4GB flash storage
- SD slot
- 2 x USB ports
- 3-hour battery
- 802.11b/g WiFi
- optional 3G modem
Texet is pricing this at $300 but if they partner with a carrier, this might sell for less or even free. Unfortunately, the custom Linux build doesn’t allow easy install of other application but this could change when it goes to market.

Lemote netbook comes with all open-source software, hackers rejoice
Jan 6th
While most netbooks can be easily loaded with Ubuntu and other open source tools, Lemote plans to show off one where all the pre-bundled software are open-sourced.
We previously saw them here with their tiny Fuloong netbook, they are now releasing a slightly larger 8.9″ Yeeloong 8089. Like the previous device, this also has an 800Mhz Longsoon processor, 3 USB ports, up to 1GB DDR2 RAM, up to 8GB SSD or 160GB HDD, webcam and USB WiFi adapter. The OS is going to be Google’s Android. To top off the mod-friendly software is the presence of an internal USB. No price or release date announced yet though.
